Sponsors, which included EIO Farms, Seven Eleven and Eagle One Processing, made the evening possible through their contributions.
Supportive mothers from the Gregory Town community took up the ice bucket challenge to help increase awareness of ALS (often referred to as Lou Gehrig’s disease).
Incredibly cold iced water really cooled these Moms down on the warm Saturday evening during the Gregory Town Back To School Jamboree event.
Following the event, organizers went a bit further, and staged an ice bucket challenge to assist with raising awareness for ALS (often referred to as “Lou Gehrig’s Disease). Supportive mothers, players, coaches and community members volunteered to take part in the ice bucket challenge and tons of fun ensued.
Owner of EIO Farms, Edgar Seligman, said that throughout the season he would come to watch the Warriors play and when approached about being a sponsor of the Back-to-School Jamboree event, he jumped at the opportunity to assist.
